Core i5-8600K vs Xeon X5675 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon X5675 performs better than the Core i5-8600K. Despite this, the Core i5-8600K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon X5675 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-8600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X5675. Also, the Core i5-8600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Xeon X5675 also has slightly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-8600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
